Masseria Constanza is an ancient stone villa in Noto, Italy that was too decrepit to inhabit.

It has been beautifully restored, preserving the best of its antiquity, and made available for short-term rent.

Somehow design elements separated by half a millenium work together perfectly.

A giant refrigerator in the perfectly functional kitchen reoccupies the old hearth.

In the bedroom, a five hundred year old stone floor is now traversed by glass – walling off a shower room.

Guests are seated in state beneath the old stone walls – and a glam chandelier.

The graceful arches of the Renaissance feature in the living room.These huge arches have been perfectly fitted with today’s glazing.There is actually something right about the glam moderne treatment of the ancient stone villa.

And outside, todays swimming pool is overlooked by a wall that has stood for centuries.
